GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Recapturing his story

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/04/recapturing-his-story.html

Thursday, April 2, 2009. I've been obsessively reading Errol Morris' 5-part piece in the New York Times. Investigating the life of Amos Humiston, a soldier who fell at Gettysburg. Humiston's story is well-known for Civil War and Gettysburg buffs. His body was found in Gettysburg, unidentifiable, clutching the ambrotype of three children. Through a twisted story, those children were identified by this ambrotype, giving a name to this soldier, their father, as well. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: I was there when we made history

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-was-there-when-we-made-history.html

Wednesday, November 5, 2008. I was there when we made history. I was lucky enough to receive tickets to go to Obama’s Election Night rally in Grant Park last night. The experience for me was surreal and overwhelmingly emotional. I felt lucky—not just to be at the front lines of this historic moment but also to be a part of a country like ours. But it was Obama’s speech, the full text of which is available here. Which most resonated with me. In the last few months, I’ve been reading up a lot lat...Coming ...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Fred's a popular gent

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/06/freds-popular-gent.html

Tuesday, June 10, 2008. Fred's a popular gent. Looks like there's a lot of interest in Fred (Greif) of Chicago. Anonymous poster, you have some competition- at least on Craigslist's Missed Connections. And just an FYI, according to Above the Law. Get in line ladies! I guess they already had the teacher angles covered with Science Teacher Jeremy and Football Coach Silver Fox so Gym Teacher Fred became (Not Quite) Lawyer Fred. Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 6:35:00 PM CDT. I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE FREDDY GREIF! Is a C...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Satellapalooza

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/satellapalooza.html

Thursday, May 7, 2009. How cool is this? In just the last week or two, Google updated its satellite images of Chicago, including Grant Park. In doing so, they happened to capture Lollapalooza 2007. I have to say that the festival looks a lot tamer from the sky. I tried dropping the Street View figure into the middle of the crowd, but Google wasnt allowing it. Google wouldnt even allow me to drop the figure onto Monoroe. They havent Street Viewed Monroe yet! Of the satellite and the street view. Your Burd...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Historication: My Bucket List

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/historication-my-bucket-list.html

Thursday, November 6, 2008. Historication: My Bucket List. I usually then dissolve into a fit of giggles and my companions probably second-guess their judgment in befriending me. My family's historically-slanted vacations brought me to more tours of historic homes, battlefields, cemeteries and villages than I could count. From Jamestown to Hyannis Port, I've traveled the east coast and beyond with my family, taking my fill of reenactors, historic markers and velvet-roped house tours. I have only been to ...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: My Dear John Letter

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-dear-john-letter.html

Friday, August 8, 2008. My Dear John Letter. I really hoped against hope that the National Enquirer was pulling a Bat Boy on you. Even last night, as I watched The Birdcage. And National Enquirer reporters trailed Gene Hackman’s senatorial character down to South Beach for a scandal, I thought of you and my stomach clenched up with fear. What if the tabloids were right? And now, I discover, I’m the one who was wrong. But, look. That foot is neither here nor there, and the real. First, I don’t know ...

GOING NUTS IN THE CITY: Don't be an ass, Northwestern

http://urbansquirrelgirl.blogspot.com/2008/05/dont-be-ass-northwestern.html

Friday, May 30, 2008. Don't be an ass, Northwestern. It’s embarrassing to watch as various. Chide Northwestern seniors for their pissing-and-moaning about their commencement keynote speaker, Mayor Richard M. Daley. Some editorialists have called these responses “whiny,” “arrogant,” and “entitled;”. And it’s true—they are. You’ll be surprised how often the answer is yes.”. If only she had gotten to some of those grousers in the Class of 2008 first. [ See her speech here. Richard M. Daley. Is a Chicagoan, ...
